WHO SHALL WIN?

[beyond the sea]

God I hate playing Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. Too cerebral for Cowher.

[mainepatsfan]

The 'Skins are pretty hot right now.

[mainepatsfan]

I wouldn't mind getting another crack at Holmgren either.

[mainepatsfan]

Think the Steelers would love to get another shot at Cincy?

[beyond the sea]

YES!

[beyond the sea]

I think we would win that one.

[mainepatsfan]

Just control the clock and keep Plamer and Co. off the field.

[mainepatsfan]

That should read Palmer and Co. off the field.

[beyond the sea]

Yep.

Take it wasy ........ gotta go.

Have a meaningful and pleasant Christmas.

[Terpfen]

Why'd you peg Miami so low? I'm really not privy to the mindset that Miami wasn't going to have a winning season this year, so please explain this to me.

[mainepatsfan]

And the same to you.

[Allegra]

Just got back from Reliant Stadium a little while ago.

Reggie Bush.

[mainepatsfan]

He'll be as effective as Carr unless the Texans get some blockers.

[Allegra]

We'll get more than one pick. Several rounds, ya know. I have a feeling the offensive line will be a big focus....after getting Reggie Bush. ;-)

And a whole new coaching staff and probably a new GM.

And we've got Dan Reeves in the mix now.

Next year will be much better.

[Terpfen]

So I see.

I never thought the players were the problem at Miami. Sure, we could use some better ones, and Ricky Williams is a subject best left alone, but the problem at Miami for the longest time has been coaching. Wannstedt sucked, Saban doesn't. Therefore, Miami is going 9-7 this year.

The playoffs, however, are a few years away.

[discostu]

The Texans O line has sucked since their first pre-season game, so far they haven't done a damn thing to improe it, and I haven't seen any indications that's going to change next year.

[GRRRRR]

We have to go to a Christmas Day dinner...the game WILL BE ON!!!

Unnngghhhh!

[Perdogg]

Obviously, the Giants had no pride this weekend. And the schedule makers handed the conference title to Washington, but Washington's choke in the Oakland and San Diego game really hurt them.
